After the incredible success of last year’s Lexus Ilkley Open and the first-class hospitality offerings, 2026 will see the party expand further with even more food, drink and entertainment served up throughout the week alongside world class tennis.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger, the team behind The Lexus Ilkley Open have once again raised the bar to make this year the most spectacular event both on and off the court.

Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club will be the place to head from June 5th to 14th for a non-stop line-up of world-class tennis and entertainment.

For when the action stops on court, there’ll be no shortage of things to do and see in the fan zone with the arrival of the SGH Events stage which will welcome a whole host of top acts to keep you entertained well into the night.

The brilliant Lightning Seeds and The Farm will get the party started at the tournament’s opening weekend on Friday 5th June and throughout the week there’ll be a fantastic line-up of music from the likes of Craig Charles, Marvin Humes, Ellie Sax, Bay City Rollers, Tinchy Stryder and back by popular demand, Ibiza in Symphony.

These amazing acts, alongside the club’s renowned hospitality will ensure a vibrant festival atmosphere for all who attend.

Having proved so popular in 2025, the food court will be expanding even further this year to make way for even more caterers and the return of Ilkley’s largest beer garden.

Shoot the Bull, the award-winning British street food brand, will once again return to head up the corporate catering with another decadent dining experience lined up for hospitality guests in the Gusbourne Lounge, The Rathbones Centre Court Hospitality Suite and the OGL Garden Bar.

Meanwhile outside in the food village, tennis fans will be able to take a break from the tennis to tuck into a wide range of tempting cuisine from around the world which alongside Shoot the Bull’s famous street food offerings, will be provided by some of Yorkshire’s best-loved restaurants, bars and delis.

Included in this year’s line-up of gastronomic delights will be stalls from Juicy Sushi, Bettys, New Brook Street Deli, Loaf and Loaded, Van Chaud, Peacocks Curry House and Tikk’s Thai Kitchen.

2026 will also see the arrival of a retail village where fans will get the chance to buy clothing, posters, souvenirs and goodies from stalls including our very own beyond outlet where we look forward to welcoming you.

In addition, there’ll also be a huge Victoria Malaga public bar, while outside there will be a welcoming Ilkley Brewery spacious beer garden to come and enjoy.
